We’re glad you’re here and happy to start the new semester with you!
For the new international students, the RWTH has already organized the Welcome Week – also the IT Center was there to make the start in the new country and at the (yet) foreign university a little more pleasant.

RWTHmoodle – Results of This Year’s User Survey
This summer semester, RWTHmoodle users once again had the chance to evaluate the system and its associated services.
The user survey started in June 2022. 37.300 people who actively used at least one course room in the summer semester 2022 were asked to participate in the RWTHmoodle user survey. 1.820 users complied with this request.
Changeover of the University Library Account
The University Library (UB) of RWTH Aachen University is changing its systems. This will change a lot in the background, but not much for you as users.
Why are we telling you this?
From August 2022, you will be able to log in to the university library using RWTH Single Sign-On.
The advantage for you?
You will have to remember one password less 🙂

Microsoft 365 at RWTH Aachen University
Meetings with colleagues, joint coffee breaks, self-organization during studies and exchange with fellow students – all of this would not have been so easy since spring 2020 at the latest without progressive digitization and continuous and flexible adaptation to the circumstances.
Whether in teaching, research, studying or everyday work – without the right tools, communication and collaboration between members of RWTH Aachen University is significantly more difficult in times of home office and distance learning. Read the rest of this entry »
RWTHapp 2.0 – Test the Beta Version now!
The relaunch of the RWTHapp is getting closer and closer! In November and December 2021, you already had the opportunity to put the alpha version of the RWTHapp 2.0 through its paces and give us your feedback.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your active participation – your feedback was and is enormously important for the further development of the app and has shown us in one or two places where exactly there is still a need for optimization.
Based on your feedback, we have turned the RWTHapp upside down again and made further adjustments. Now we would like to give you the chance to test the beta version of the new RWTHapp. Read the rest of this entry »
